Présentation de l'éditeur
Excerpt from The Great Napoleon's Mother
No apology can be needed on the part of either author or translator for bringing before the public a sketch of the life of Letitia Bonaparte, whose chequered career is so deeply interesting, and yet so little known. It commends itself to the study of women of all nations and of every cast of thought, while an insight into the character of the mother of a remarkable man, whatever our personal, political, or patriotic feeling may be, ought at the least to awaken our curiosity.
The fact that Napoleon was a terror to every nation of Europe, a veritable scourge of God, need not be ignored by the English reader, whose inherent love of home will, however, help him to understand that the conqueror could at the same time be "a mother's pride," and it is mainly in this light that he is to be contemplated in the following sketch.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating look at the life of Letitia Bonaparte, the mother of Napoleon Bonaparte. Through a rich tapestry of historical details, the author weaves together a portrait of Letitia, her family, and the turbulent world in which they lived. It begins with Letitia's childhood in Corsica, a land of rugged beauty and fierce independence. The book explores the early years of her marriage to Carlo Bonaparte, a man whose ambition and extravagance contrasted sharply with Letitia's own quiet strength and determination. The author delves into the political climate of Corsica, tracing the fight for independence from Genoa and subsequent absorption into France, a pivotal moment in the Bonaparte family's destiny. We see Letitia as a resolute figure, alongside her husband, braving the dangers and hardships of war, even in her pregnancy. The book then follows the birth and early years of Napoleon, a complex, spirited child who, according to Letitia, benefited from her unwavering discipline. The author examines Letitia's role as a mother, highlighting her dedication to her children, her rigorous upbringing, and her often-overlooked influence on the young Napoleon's development. Throughout these chapters, the author explores the themes of familial loyalty, ambition, and the power of the female figure in shaping the course of history, offering a fresh perspective on the Bonaparte family and the rise of Napoleon. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a woman whose courage, resilience, and deep love for her family helped to shape the fate of a nation.
